Today I'm chatting with Jaci Riley, my featured sponsor and the talented owner of Crave. I am fascinated with the handcrafted pieces Jaci designs. I was honored when she agreed to take the time to share what goes on in her creative world. So let's take a moment to be get inspired and learn more about the lovely woman behind Crave.

Just a reminder, the Crave Giveaway is still going on! If you (like me) adore Jaci's items, enter now to win a free bracelet! Now on to the questions...

Halloween is that time of year when I suffer from extreme Porch Envy. I live in an apartment, I don't even have a terrace to place a pumpkin let alone a sprawling stoop! But if I did have a porch to decorate, I think I would go the primitive route. I love primitive Halloween decorations - they are so spooky! They look like they could be props in a Tim Burton movie, or that they could posses magic powers. I love the details and the stitching goes into creating them. If I were to decorate my dream porch, here are some items I found on Etsy that I think are simply spook-tacular!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To raise awareness, I have created limited edition note cards which are now available in my Etsy shop. The cards are dedicated to my Aunt Linda who is a breast cancer survivor and active member of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. With every sale, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation (www.komen.org)

Today I'm in a Halloween-ish mood. A Tim Burton-ish mood. A Lemony Snicket-ish mood. And I think it shows in my latest Etsy Treasury. And although the items I've curated are not necessarily spooky, I do think the equisite photos create a gothic feeling that I think is just delightful!
